Elites, or we have to live together…

the first spring flowers.

In a letter to the press a person wrote that the society has become an arithmetical problem. People are crouching by everything they read in the newspapers (the financial crisis) wondering how everything shall end.

It seems as people with a need for a work, public welfare or service are the only ones that are costing money in these days. Old people are costing, children are costing, and workers are costing and so on.

Machines, managing directors, board of director pros, EU bureaucrats/politicians and bank palaces are on the contrary necessities and are seen as investments for the future. No, such things and those people with fantasy earning aren’t seen as costs! Isn’t that strange? But the grassroots are seen as costs.

People are mostly a nuisance - and think how expensive they have become. Can the society, if we follow the logic of today, really afford ordinary inform, weak people?

I mean, the writer writes, can one see the man as an asset or are we book valued only as costs in those eras of accountants, where humanism and humanity only have become a question for the private familiar sphere.

Earlier one had an ambition to anchor political decisions in the citizens. This was seen as natural in a representative democracy. Things are decided above our heads. By people who knows better (they think). What’s the opposite of democracy? Dictatorship?

Is this also neo authoritarianism?

Today the decisions are a process between political representatives and different special interests (lobbyists), above all on the private financial side.

A journalist wrote about a film festival here in Sweden, in an article with the heading “We have to live together”, with films like “The Planet” and “Wall E”, “Marie Antoinette”, “La Zona”. Films exploring big societal differences between people.

About the global elite of the Homo sapiens entrenching themselves behind security gates and walls. Security firms are keeping them away from the congregation. Rage is boiling in the ones kept on distance. Our era’s real power elites enrich each other and are fighting for its right to have their hundred of millions in pensions. The moral question is never posed because they don’ understand the meaning of it or understand the word.

To be ethical and decent doesn’t give profits neither on wage or pension accounts in the strict hierarchical private trade and industry life’s Casino bar.
